Polterguys, referred to as "'''[[Boo]]s'''",<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 181|date=July 2004|page=88, 89}}</ref> first appear as enemies in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', and are found in [[Spooky House]]. Like other enemies in the game, if [[Mario]] comes in contact with them in their standard form, he loses a [[Extra life|life]]. Polterguys cannot be defeated; instead, when Mario presses a [[Color Switch]] of the same color as a Polterguy, it turns into a harmless block that Mario can stand on. However, Polterguys in this form will revert to their standard form if Mario presses a Color Switch of a different color than the Polterguy. | Polterguys, referred to as "'''[[Boo]]s'''",<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 181|date=July 2004|page=88, 89}}</ref> first appear as enemies in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', and are found in [[Spooky House]].

Polterguys also appear in Spooky House's boss stage, [[Level | Polterguys also appear in Spooky House's boss stage, [[Level 4-DK|Level 4-DK]]. These Polterguys now have flame-like auras similar to [[Pyro Guy]]s, though this is only a visual effect, and the usual animation plays if Mario loses a life by coming in contact with them. As they float around in a set pattern, [[Donkey Kong]] hits one of three Color Switches, transforming the Polterguy of that color into a regular Shy Guy, which Mario can pick up and throw at Donkey Kong to damage him. If Mario is still holding the Shy Guy when Donkey Kong hits the switch of its color, it will not turn into a flaming Polterguy in his hands. | ||
